Fore Hat wiring

[LeKiD]

How do you hook up the wiring to the hat ? Solder the wire and shrink , a connector between the hat and wiring for easy removal of the fuel tank ??

 

[TRBO VNM]

Up to you basically. I usually solder and use double walled heat shrink.

Does it still easy to remove if there is no connector to unplug the hat ?

I used a MSD Deutsch connecter between the Fore hat and my dual FPDM harness. That way if I have to drop the tank I could just disconnect the connector. Here is a link to the MSD Deutsch connector.

I wired mine without a connector. Not looking to pull it out again for awhile. If you pull tank alot plug would be nice though

I bought some gm style weather pack connectors. Worked great in case I need to remove it ever. And I got rid of a ton of wire from the kit.
I also ran my lines down the subframe not through the trans tunnel. I had to buy one extra fitting when I did this.

You need the MSD tool for those correct?

Yes, you need the tool and the crimping tool dies.

If you are thinking about this Deutsch connector and you don't want to purchase the tools you could send me the connector and I will make you a harness. I have the crimping tool and the correct dies for this connector. Just pay for the wire and shipping. I will make the harness with plenty of wire on each side of the connector so you can cut it to the length you need. Send me a PM if you want me to do this.

Weather Pack connectors.

I lucked out in that a friend has almost every model they make, plus the correct crimping tools.

+1 on weather pack connections, personally I'm not a fan of deutsch connectors, common failure I've seen with them is moisture collecting in the middle of the plug and eventually rotting the wire out. But they are both decent and cheap to get the plugs,wire/connector seals, m&f ends. And I think our cars use weatherpack anyways if you are going to a factor look
